Sunshine -Jonathan Edwards cover

[tngypsyrose]

Who is the woman singing with you? She and I sound just alike. Like to know if she has her own music?

[strat2caster]

@tngypsyrose

she does indeed. Her name is Jane Hall and her YT channel is Cameragirl803 with other collaborations and original songs.

[ccjstunts]

i just dig this :D

[TheNinjawarrior22]

hey man i dig the whole thing

[libsstink100]

GOOD JOB DUDE!!

[XFearMeDearX1]

Nice harmony

[KrazyKommieKiller]

Not a fan of hippies, but hell if they can't play guitar.

[libsstink100]

@KrazyKommieKiller  lol

[Salinear]

keep rockin.

[Kidkel69]

trying to stay positive

[cwa14n3]

I loved this song as a teen. But then I grew up and played the game. I became "THE MAN", the lowly trainer works for me. The war rages on, but it is not our government that picks and chooses our wars to fight. It is CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS. These are your warlords and inciters. And you just listen and nod in unison as mindless zombies. They are your real enslavers, not the military ordered to do what their PC , one world government masters ordered them to do.. As the sang, "Come Sail Away'

[longhairispasse]

@cwa14n3 you are a lunatic and LONG overdue for the sanitarium

you whackjob! time for the padded cell!

by the way you forgot FOX and Rush Limbaugh, but you probably listen

to whackjob Glenn Beck too, right?

[furnacefire]

[JEZUZ06]

THAT'S BAD ASS BRO!!

[ScottyMayhaw]

Great Sound that you have created.

[codemeng]

Nice job man, i like the way you changed the harmonics a little bit to fit your voice instead of trying to belt the high notes. Really good addition to the guitar at the end before the video ends by thew way. I love Jonathan Edwards.

[strat2caster]

thanks very much.

that bit at the end is actually the beginning of a song I usually play together with "sunshine", it's "stuck in the middle with you".

when i was editing it I thought it sounded cool at to leave it at the end .

Strat

[freakthemighty123]

[TrooperCX]

cool as shit, are you tuned in G? neat

[strat2caster]

thanks bro...actually it open d

[onkelbuke]

best cover ever. wow

[cotey4]

Pretty good man! Great harmonies too!

Born in 63 and have always liked that tune.

[Bucketfrog]

I never knew what the song was actually about since I was born in 64 I guess.

But I've always loved that song.

[freesk8]

It's about government power.

It's about the politicians regulating and taxing and trying to run our lives.

But "how much does it cost, I'll buy it" means that YOU get to choose what you do with the product of your labor, not the man.

It means you own your own life, not the government.

It means liberty.

"When I grow up I'm going to make it mine" means I'm going to go out and get what I want. I'm going to succeed on my own terms, and the man will not enslave me.

Free minds and free markets.

[MissBaileyBarnum]

Thank you my friend.  That's exactly what he means

[210twice]

i'll smoke to that

[urtubeguide]

I think your both good. Camera girl and U that is. you have good harmony togeva.

[dalguy93]

Oh yeahhh !!!!

[elczanka]

Thank you for a wonderful time with the music. Happy New Year in the most beautiful.

Alicja

[PuffinStuff43]

[suuzzee5]

Hi Mike ... just had to return to your ultra cool version of this song today ... Veterans Day ... won the election ... peace a'comin' ... YES WE CAN !!

[guitarlad89]

we're gonna be in worse shape than we already are.......

[lymph12]

Obamas gonna fucking cluster bomb all the non submitting central/south American countries when he takes over the western hemisphere

[elczanka]

Whew, I was not here long. Here is beautiful. Thank you.

Alicja

[humuhumunukunuku9]

Way cool, man. I really enjoyed watching you playing and great voice too. Also super harmonies.

Good choice of song too. I've always loved this song, even when I first heard it on the radio back in the early 70's. Seemed like it was pushing the envelope when it was played, and saying that word ("damned") in a song on the radio. Oh my, what was this world coming to? ;-)

Peace...

[riverface123]

I like your style mate,well done

[loukimball]

awesome song again bro!! Jane sounded great with you too--can't wait for the next vid!!!

[bandbsmom]

luv it:) great job! hugs shelly

[OneLove159]

woww.

:D

[Kidkel69]

Had to favor again

[benedicto16]

i need a bf. im so horny lol

stop fighting on youtube xD He

[nynja88]

what tuning is this in? all of the tabs online sound awful, but this one sounds pretty solid! is it open E?

[strat2caster]

close, its open D tuning, but the song is essentially in A major. the chord is just a straight barre across the appropriate frets

[MBWrestling]

u scare me... a little... hey btw r u a white guy or an alien?

[strat2caster]

you don't scare me at all, are you a hater or a moron?

[brenteeeezy]

fuck you MBWrestling

Why do you have to make fun of someone on the internet?!

Especially someone who is more than likely a billion times more talented than you are.

[brenteeeezy]

I think this is your best cover right here.

Props dude, you're amazing.

[strat2caster]

its def one of my favs too, i must thank cameragirl Jane for her participation in this too, she's a great harmonist ;o)

[HATEIPODS]

[strat2caster]

awesome Molly, thanks for listening ;o) Janes harmonies gave this a nice lift for sure !

[bloodeytear]

great vid

[ParadiseEarth1]

You both Rock!***** :^) Thanks for the info Bro. Cool! Ironic, kinda poetic license that it was used to market Jeeps, some of them presumably sold to Vietman -- so what was that war all about!

New for some of those sorts: Hindsight clearly validetes your stance for peace then no doubt. :^)

[uniquebsame]

Sorry strat2caster. I didn't mean my earlier comment. Not only was I having a bad day I was pretty intoxicated. Please forgive me.

[strat2caster]

you are forgiven, dont worry about..i removed the comment, let's start over ;o)

[strat2caster]

first of all Thank You!

but ..er...heheh youre kidding right?....dude...

i sat down in front of my 'puter and played and sang this song..

then i shared the resulting vid with my friend Jane in NC and she added a gorgeous harmony to it and sent it back and then i edited it (quite) a bit and uploaded it here for your enjoyment.

[Corrieanne]

I've always loved this song & was blessed with the chance to see Mr. Edwards perform it along with other songs in his repetoire, in a bar in CT. Nixon was president then. LOL! (and yes, he couldn't even run his own life!)

LOL! Dziękuję for the memories! I'm 100% Polish but can only speak German & some French for foreign langs. (hehe)

[strat2caster]

Dziękuję for the kind comments! your lucky, i havent seen him but he still tours ya know....so....maybe someday..*sigh* hablar un poco español but i speak english and 'online translator' for everything else ;oD

pokoju i miłości,

Strat

[KrisShred]

[strat2caster]
